Coke Zero, anyone??

I just saw a new Coke product today at my local grocery store. (Publix in FLA.) It is called Coke Zero. It is different from the D-Coke w/ Splenda that I tried and hated. This one is in a Red, Black and Silver bottle. I haven't tried it yet or really looked at it. Has anyone seen this and tried it yet??

Just curious...

I just saw this in my grocery store today too! I was planning on looking it up when I got home and forgot. I'm gonna go Google it now and see what exactly it is (and how its different from Diet Coke or Diet Coke w/Splenda)

Here's the new from Coca-Cola on it - I'm not really sure what is different about it from original diet Coke - other than its a marketing ploy!

Okay - I tried it today. I have to say it is the ONLY Coke product that I actually like! I thought is was, oh - about a million times better than Diet Coke!

From some more research on it, apparently Coca-Cola Zero is supposed to be a diet version of the Coca-Cola "Classic", where as Diet Coke was formulated from the "new Coke" they came out with back in the 80's.

I am truly a Pepsi person - I love all the Pepsi products, generally dislike Coke products - and I thought this tasted almost exactly like Pepsi (probably why I like it!)

So anyhow - my 2 cents!

I tried this today and did not like it. But I'm a die-hard Diet Dr. Pepper fan and only marginally like Diet Coke so this was a stretch for me. However, I love, love, love real Coke so I thought I might like Coke Zero too. It was really fizzy and, to me, had a horrible aspartame aftertaste. I even tried to pour it over ice so it would be really chilled but it still didn't work. I ended up throwing 1/2 of it away. Just my .02 for what it's worth!

I agree...I love it!! To me, it tastes just like regular Coke. I don't think I'll ever go back to Diet Coke now!!

Cheers,
